The 'OWO Vest' is a new virtual reality (VR) innovation that allows VR users to feel digital events in real life. The OWO Vest has a multi-part haptic system that connects to a companion application to create what OWO calls 'Sensations Technology.' The Sensations Technology system has been pre-programmed with a variety of sensations, such as virtual gunshots, hugs, or the feeling of rain.
The application that pairs with the OWO Vest can control the intensity of each of the sensations that have been programmed, increasing or decreasing them based on user preferences. On top of this, users can create their own sensations and save them to the Sensations Technology system if they discover a feeling that has not yet been pre-programmed, such as the feeling of crashing a car in virtual reality.
